GRAND RAPIDS – Drake Harris said he still plans to attend Michigan State, but he wants to look, and that means not just visit Ohio State, but Florida, too.

Harris, Michigan’s No. 2-ranked football recruit for 2014 who verbally committed to Michigan State in June, said his visit Monday from Ohio State coach Urban Meyer doesn’t change his plans, but may change what he does the next month.

“I wasn’t saying I was de-committing, but that I had an offer from Ohio State and that I was happy about it. But it didn’t really change anything,” the Grand Rapids Christian High School junior said before Tuesday’s basketball game.

The 6-foot-4, 185-pound Harris, who has offers from Florida, Michigan and Notre Dame, said he has also heard from Alabama but the Crimson Tide are not in his plans right now.
Michigan State’s offer is for football and basketball. All of the other offers are for football only.

After the visit from Meyer, Harris told the 24/7 recruiting network, "They (the Buckeyes) are one of the best football programs in the country. You have arguably the best coach in the country. The campus is great, and the fan support is crazy."

Harris said his plans haven’t changed but he wants to explore his options because “this is the only time” he’ll get the opportunity.

“I just want to look,” he said.

Asked how Michigan State fans should feel about his commitment, Harris said: “That I’m committed right now, and I’m solid right now. I wouldn’t go to the point to say that I’m going to change my mind and go to a different school. Like I said, I’m committed to them.”

Harris, who is currently sidelined from basketball with a slight ankle injury, was ranked the No. 1 receiver in the class of 2014 by recruiting analyst Tom Lemming of Prep Football Report.

This November, he led Grand Rapids Christian to the Division 3 title with 91 receptions for a state-record 2,016 yards and 23 touchdowns.
